Foxy Brown is one of the most graphically violent urban action films
around. Jack Hill delivers a solid story to compliment pulp-style action
sequences. Peter Brown and Kathryn Loder are remarkable as the villainous
couple, whose passion for oneanother contrasts the hateful crimes they
commit.
Pam Grier is marvelous as Foxy Brown, both visually and emotionally. Foxy
Brown, like Grier's previous character Coffy, is a strong-willed and able
woman, who wants justice in her community, and personal
life.
The film's content, while slightly dated, is still timely enough to resonate
with some viewers.
Finally, I would like to address some rather ignorant critics of this
film: yes, the villains are white. THIS IS A BLAXPLOITATION FILM!!!! WHAT
DO YOU EXPECT????!!!!! While it is not easily stated, Foxy Brown and so
many of the blaxploitation movies were originally produced so that Hollywood
could capitalize on the vibe of the black community. These films were
created, marketed, and displayed to an audience that was often belittled and
ignored during the decades leading up to the 1970s. They are action flicks
that pull on the heart strings of some, while others get a cool chuckle
watching them. Trust me, whenever a bigot ruins my day, it is always nice
to watch Foxy Brown bring whitey down!!! Power to the People!!!! And as
the immortal Bob Ross always said, "God bless."
